“ One of the best Taco I have ever had! Nice texture, great flavours. Love it! ”
“ Really enjoyed our meal here! We are by no means experts, but we have pretty high standards for Mexican food since we are so spoilt for choice in Melbourne. Everything was so fresh and we could see the tortillas being pressed, cut and fried for our chips and the empanadas were made my hand to order. I am however a total snob about margaritas and this was.. THE BEST marg I've had at a restaurant in a long long time. Quesadillas and fresh tortilla chips was definitely two standouts. ”
“ We had such an amazing time! The food was so GOOD, the customer service was AMAZING! The drinks so YUMMY! Can’t wait to go again 10/10 ”
“ The chicken tacos were my favorite! Pork was yum too. The staff were so friendly, I was solo the night I went so I got to sit at the bar and watch in the kitchen. Very cool, and made me feel very welcome despite feeling a bit awkward being by myself on a weekend away. Wonderful experience all round! ”
“ As a Mexican, I don’t say this lightly,Chicano delivers better food than most restaurants in Mexico. The tortillas are handmade, the flavours are bold and perfectly balanced, and every bite feels like a celebration of Mexican cuisine taken to the next level. It’s not just authentic, it’s an experience. Chicano doesn’t just replicate traditional dishes, it elevates them. If you're looking for real Mexican food that goes beyond tradition while still honouring it, this is the place. Absolutely 10 out of 10. ”
“ Spectacular food; blue corn tortillas were freshly made and all the food served were presented and served with care. Highly recommend the fish, chicken tacos and nachos. Delicious cocktails as well…hard to fault. All food were made fresh and on order. My only request would be to have another dipping sauce like a salsa verde or something with a little more zing. The mole chocolate cake is a must have as well. Excellent service as well; Highly recommend; ”
“ What a super place - great range of tequila, my fave beer Tecate (hard to find now) awesome tasty food on offer, excellent service and great vibe. And not to mention a pretty decent margarita ! I’ll be back ”
